Holy Martyr Eustathios and his family

Dear Faithful of Saints Peter and Paul, 

The blessing of the Holy Trinity be upon you!

 

CUP Approved!

Glory to God! Last night at the city of Topeka Council meeting, the City Council voted 7-0 to approve our conditional use permit (CUP).  This means we have permission from the city to develop our property as we have proposed in our site plan which includes our fellowship Hall, Church Temple, an educational building, an additional building for future use and Holy Myrrh Bearers cemetery.  We have 3 years to break ground using this CUP before having to reapply. May God bless our efforts!

It was 2 years ago today on the feast of St. Eustathios that we signed the paperwork to purchase our property.

SAINTS PETER & PAUL ORTHODOX CHURCH FOR SALE FOR $400,000

 

SAINTS PETER & PAUL ORTHODOX CHURCH FOR SALE

 

Sts. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church is located at 2516 SW Huntoon St. Topeka, KS 66604-1501 with a Parcel ID: 089-097-35-0-40-30-012.00-0 and sits on a ¼ acre of land and purchased form RLDS (Reformed Later Day Saints) who originally and constructed the property and is now currently for sale under MCRE LLC., managed and owned by Mr. Henry McClure a licensed Real Estate Broker in Topeka KS. Who was also given a signed approval by the church to sell the property.

 

Henry McClure has 44 years of real estate experience of real estate transactions of all kinds. Most of my career has been dedicated Shopping Mall re-development, commercial leasing, commercial sales, Mixed-Use/TIF redevelopment and sales of residential and commercial real estate. I have played real advisory roles including but not limited, commercial and residential development, leasing, zoning, real estate tax valuation, platting issues and Brokers Opinions.

 

Improvement of the building have been made over the years from the year purchased. One of which is the installation of two (2) new front doors and one (1) new back doors near the altar of the church. Gutters and new roof were also installed for the church building in 1998, four (4) years after the property was purchased. A year later, electrical services were upgraded to a 200amp service. Duct heater and new hot water system were also installed the same year. Hardwood flooring were also installed for the altar and Nave. In addition, new tiles were also installed for the Fellowship Hall along with a baseboard for the heater in the Nursery. Several improvements were made in the following years, one of which was the installation of a Ram Trus T-Lift platform to serve the handicapped. The installation of this elevator was in 2009.

 

The property now for sale for the purpose of a fund raiser to fund the construction of a new church, primarily to accommodate more patrons in the area. Whereas the asking price for this property is at $600,000 the price is still negotiable for the buyer who is willing to purchase the property.

 

For the condition of the building, “it would be a good conversion to cool home” Henry McClure stated on a blogpost. The elevator itself would be a nice addition to the home if the buyer would be willing to convert it to a house.

 

For any inquiries or interest for the property, Henry McClure is always open for a tour to anyone who is willingly interested in purchasing. Mr. McClure’s contact information is posted on the listing information.

 

More information about the property listing is available and will be disclosed in this article.
